First date in 2 years! ?
You could try to: *Nurse a cup of water or tea *Order the soup/vegetable of the day *Ask if you can order off menu (maybe call ahead) *Bring your own mug with broth/bullion cubes (tacky but effective- say you feel like you have a cold is coming on) *Be upfront about your eating restrictions (hardest and easiest) Good Luck ?

Sleeve or bypass? help or hurt GERD
That's going to be super individualized and no one can predict what it will be like until after.(But I personally don't dump often because I'm careful- sidenote I was revised from VSG to RNY for GERD) Ask about the statistics on GERD remission/recurrence after VSG from your Surgeon or research it yourself But really It will all come down to what the surgeon (and you) determine is the best course of action Good Luck ?

Sleeve or bypass? help or hurt GERD
Ask your Surgeon for their honest assessment but IMHO skip the sleeve if GERD is even a remote concern.

Interesting perspective... You should ask the community ?- ? Nov 2019 Challenge?

I believe my path my was exclusively through a Sleep Center/Specialist (no doubt pulmonary docs on board). Call your Surgeon, PCP and insurance for possible referrals. Good Luck ?- I’m not losing weight anymore!
I would suggest assuming (despite surgery type) hunger/appetite/natural drive to eat will eventually return no matter what... so you wont be surprised when it does.- My mess of a week/ 3 surgeries in one!
Well dont leave without finding out how to report and resolve it & don't sign anything you don't understand. Your family should assist with finding answers as you are still in an altered state. Safe recovery Good Luck ?- I’m not losing weight anymore!
?Congratulations on find your way back?- I’m not losing weight anymore!
?Congratulations on making it to goal and beyond?- Now when I see MO people...
?So very true?... No one likes a reformed ____________ (fill in with anything) Rushing in to save them when they didn't ask for help. I suspect because It feels controlling and people are hesitant to surrender (perceived or real) freedoms even if its for their own good. I personally can't imagine how I would have responded 5 years ago if (being in good health then but obese) someone randomly suggested I have surgery. *Bihhh mind yo bidness* From my Doctor I would have taken it under advisement but others... IDK seem it would have come off as intrusive- My mess of a week/ 3 surgeries in one!

Hi! Don't panic ? A lot of factors can contribute to this. Can you try giving more info (like starting weight/ BMI /current weight/ goal weight /age /gender / foods often eaten / drinks / etc.) so wonderful tips can come your way Also really important to be patient with yourself because sometimes it takes a while for the final few lbs to go Good Luck ?- OOTD

Ohhhhhh Mannnnn Fluffy/flaky but lightly sweetened and very mild coconut flavor But that was the flavor profile i was going for. If you add jalapenos and cheese , no doubt it will taste totally different - Daily Menus for Maintenance
